Abstract

The Balai Kaliki Cultural Village in Payakumbuh City holds great potential for developing a creative economy rooted in traditional Minangkabau culinary heritage. However, this potential remains underutilized, particularly in terms of product innovation, packaging, and marketing. This community service program aimed to enhance the community’s skills in processing, packaging, and promoting innovative karipap products as a step toward developing local creative economy enterprises. The program was conducted in three stages: preparation, which included a needs assessment and coordination with local stakeholders; training, focused on hygienic food processing, innovative recipe development, packaging design, and social media–based branding; and evaluation and mentoring, which involved skill assessments and business sustainability planning. Ten participants, consisting of women and young women from the Family Welfare Movement (PKK), were selected purposively. The findings showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills, with the average test score increasing to 85%. Participants successfully created three new product variations and established social media accounts for marketing purposes. Overall, this program successfully empowered the local community through skill enhancement in culinary innovation, packaging, and digital promotion. It contributes to the advancement of local creative economies while supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly poverty alleviation and food security, and reinforcing Minangkabau cultural identity through local culinary innovation.

Abstract

Public health is one of the key aspects of sustainable development. This community service activity aims to improve public health through nutritional status assessments conducted during the Car Free Day (CFD) event in Padang City. The methods used include nutritional status measurement, nutrition education, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Health measurements included assessments of body weight, height, fat mass, muscle mass, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, uric acid levels, and hemoglobin levels. Education was delivered through interactive sessions and the distribution of leaflets on healthy eating patterns and clean-living behaviors. The impact of the education was evaluated qualitatively through testimonials from participants who took part in both the health check and educational sessions. Participants shared their experiences regarding changes in their dietary habits and healthy lifestyle practices after participating in the program. Several participants stated that they had begun adopting healthier lifestyles, such as paying more attention to food intake, increasing physical activity, and feeling the benefits of a fitter body. Based on these testimonials, this activity demonstrated an increase in awareness and the adoption of healthy living behaviors among the community. Therefore, interventions through health assessments and nutrition education have been proven to contribute to encouraging positive behavioral changes within the community.

Abstract

The increasing by-products from sugarcane and coffee consumption have resulted in a greater volume of sugarcane bagasse and coffee waste with potential environmental impacts. Physically and chemically, coffee and sugarcane waste can be processed into soap products without further processing. This community service activity aimed to provide education and practical skills in utilising coffee and sugarcane waste as raw materials for hand soap production. The activity was conducted at the Baitussalam Mosque in Gadut, Padang City, with 20 participants. The implementation methods included material presentation, demonstrations, and hands-on practice in liquid soap formulation. The soap formula used sugarcane and coffee waste as the main ingredients with additional components including Texapon as a surfactant, EDTA as a chelating agent, salt as a viscosity regulator, warm water, and fragrance. The findings indicated that participants comprehended the potential of utilising sugarcane and coffee waste, allowing them to produce a basic liquid soap product for daily usage. Soap made from sugarcane and coffee waste has the potential to become an organic product with antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for the skin. This activity aims to increase public awareness of the importance of waste management and promote the development of environmentally friendly, nature-based creative enterprises.

Abstract

Stunting is still a public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in one with less of nutrition and health knowledge. It results in long-term impacts on learning, cognitive development, productivity, and risk of noncommunicable diseases. The relationship between home visits by community health workers and the concomitant effect of digital innovations to prevent stunting can be seen in this study, where it was conducted in Nagari Dusun Baru Tapan, Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatra. These community services were incorporated into the 2025 Community Service Program of Andalas University which included promo-gizi, local processed food processing training and monitoring of nutritional status in toddlers using Android-based application GiziAnakKu. The program was centered around 1,000 days of life as a crucial window period for child development through nutrition, including the practice of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding and balanced diet behaviors. Results from surveillance showed that most of the toddlers possessed acceptable nutrition (85.3%), however, 14.7% were stunted and 8.8% had an increased risk of overnutrition indicating double burden of malnutrition. Attendees appreciated the training and reinforced the value of sustainable community-based intervention. Through empowerment of community health workers and use of digital technology, the present study adds to definitions for comprehensive stunting prevention that can become best practice in similar areas.

Abstract

Integrated Mental Health Services at Langsat Public Health Centre were implemented to address low community awareness of mental health screening, stigma toward individuals with mental disorders or mental health problems, and limited educational and support facilities. This program aimed to enhance the capacity of primary health care staff and community health cadres, strengthen the reporting and service management system, and promote community participation through mental health promotion and screening by establishing the Community Mental Health Wellness Centre. The methods included collaborative discussions, training for health workers and cadres, development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and service guidelines, and production of educational media and promotional videos. An integrated reporting system using e-Puskesmas and Google Spreadsheets enabled real-time data monitoring. The results included the development of SOPs and an Integrated Mental Health Service Guideline as official references, improved understanding among health workers and cadres regarding service flow, counseling, patient support, and reporting mechanisms, and the availability of educational media disseminated through social media and primary health care waiting areas. The program produced SOPs, service guidelines, educational media (posters and leaflets), and established the Community Mental Health Wellness Centre as a replicable model that strengthens community-based mental health services and enhances community engagement.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health issue, particularly among adolescents in densely populated school environments with poor ventilation. This community service aimed to strengthen TB prevention and control efforts through the establishment and empowerment of “PEKA TB” (Pencegahan dan Penanggulangan Tuberkulosis) cadres at SMPN 31 Padang. The activity employed a pre–post test design with an educational and participatory approach, involving 34 students from grades VIII and IX as peer health cadres. The intervention consisted of interactive lectures, discussions, and simulations on TB transmission, prevention, and the PEKA TB framework (Examine–Educate–Coordinate–Act). Evaluation using structured questionnaires measured knowledge, attitude, and practice before and after the intervention. The results showed significant improvements across all variables, indicating that peer-based education effectively enhanced students’ awareness, attitudes, and preventive behaviors toward TB. The empowerment of adolescent cadres successfully fostered active participation in school health promotion and strengthened collaboration between schools and local health authorities. This initiative demonstrates that student-centered, peer-led education is a sustainable strategy to create a healthy, TB-free school environment.

Abstract

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are industrially manufactured products high in sugar, salt, and fat, with minimal whole-food content. The increasing consumption poses significant health risks, particularly for children. This community service program aimed to improve parents’ knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of limiting UPF intake and promoting balanced nutrition consumption. The program was conducted at RA Fatanah, Padang City, from June to July 2025 and involved 22 parents selected through total sampling. Nutrition education was delivered via a lecture method supported by PowerPoint materials, leaflets, and booklets. Participants completed pre- and post-tests to assess changes in knowledge. The proportion of individuals with low knowledge decreased from 18.2% to 0%, while those with high knowledge increased by 22.8%. On average, participants’ scores rose by 18 points after the intervention. Overall, this program demonstrated that structured nutrition education effectively enhances parental knowledge. Strengthening educational initiatives may contribute to reducing UPF consumption and supporting improved dietary behaviors within families.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen the production and digital marketing capacity of the Wan Alan Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME), a home–scale spice producer in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra. The intervention was motivated by the partner’s limited production technology, absence of standardized SOPs, lack of product testing, weak brand protection, and suboptimal digital marketing performance. The activities were carried out through training, technology adoption, mentoring, proximate testing, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) development, brand IPR registration assistance, photography, videography workshops, and digital marketing coaching. The results show significant improvements: production capacity increased, sterilization time decreased, SOPs and cost of goods sold (COGS) calculations were implemented, proximate tests were completed, and trademark registration progressed to the substantive examination stage. In the marketing aspect, visual content quality improved substantially, Instagram performance increased by more than 233%, and new distribution channels were opened through a formal partnership with Budiman Supermarket. These outcomes demonstrate that integrated assistance combining production technology, operational standardization, and digital marketing enables MSMEs to enhance competitiveness, expand market reach, and strengthen business sustainability.

Abstract

According to a 2019 survey by United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), bullying occurs in children worldwide. Globally, more than 30 percent of students aged 13 to 15 regularly experience bullying. Bullying can cause anxiety and fear in adolescents, disrupt concentration in school, and encourage them to avoid the school environment. Bullying problems that occur in schools require preventive intervention. The goal is to prevent this bullying practice from continuing or escalating into more extreme actions. Interventions in the form of education and training are an initial effort to convey a message to adolescents, individuals, or groups about the dangers of bullying. Community service activities at Muhammadiyah 5 Junior High School in Padang City aimed to increase adolescents' knowledge of bullying prevention. The implementation consisted of four stages: problem analysis, preparation, implementation, and evaluation of activities. The average pretest knowledge level increased from 58.47 to 84.02 (posttest) after the education was provided to 72 students. This activity has been proven to increase students' and the school community's insight and understanding of bullying. For the program's sustainability, it is hoped that the school will be involved and committed to regular bullying eradication activities. A sustainable program will increase anti-bullying awareness in schools.
